“Companies should consider banning portable storage devices such as Apple’s iPod from corporate networks, as they can be used to introduce malware or steal corporate data, according to an analyst.”Well of course they can, as can any other portable device including company-issued laptops! Anyone remember the CompUSA incident a couple of years back?

Tacoma Civic Network Decides Hotspots a
Security Risk 01/04/2004 02:23 PM
Tacoma, Washington, has a tremendously ahead-of-its-time fiber optic link run as a utility by the city, but a hotspot experiment has ended due to concerns over security: The network tested out a hotspot at one location, but decided that for security reasons--and also, but less importantly, lack of projectable revenue--that they'd pull the plug. As 802.1X and VPNs rise in availability and importance, it may be that security decisions can be wiped away. If you had a preponderance of Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.3 users, who have built-in VPN clients for both IPsec and PPTP as well as secured 802.1X/EAP, then perhaps you could build a business on the notion that you were offering 100-percent locally encrypted connections. I've wondered why hotspots don't partner with a VPN ASP and simply provide a free account to monthly users or a $1 add-on to pay-as-you-go users to give them permanent (monthly) or disposable (pay-as-you-go) VPN accounts? (Boingo is the only service to offer VPN as just a part of their client.)...

Managing 802.11b Risk for Enterprises

Managing 802.11b Risk for Enterprises 05/23/2004 09:00 PM
Enterprises are reacting sensibly to the issue of low-speed (20 Mbps or slower) Wi-Fi interference techniques documented by Australian researchers: It's not so much a flaw as a part of the spec that allows a certain kind of attack to disable an access point; there are many others of varying degree of severity, too, including just bringing an unpleasant 2.4 GHz cordless phone into an office and leaving it turned on without a connection to a cordless base station. The reaction cited in this Computerworld article is sensible: managers are examining their risk and noting that with many access points, an attacker would have to attack numerous locations at once to have an effect, and would then be vulnerable to physical detection. All 802.11a and any 802.11g networks running at faster encodings (using OFDM) can't be attacked in this fashion, either....

A RECIPE FOR
MANAGING RISK

A RECIPE FOR
MANAGING RISK 06/06/2004 12:46 PM

Last week I met with Graham Westwood, CEO of ProCarta Inc. While many others are giving up on the promise of 'explicit', 'codified', knowledge to solve important business problems, ProCarta has found a compelling niche for the rigorous codification of explicit knowledge: Areas of high risk. Graham uses the analogy of a 'recipe' to resurrect the reputation of 'best practices'. Rather than a rigid, invariable series of steps that must be followed precisely to the letter, the procedures, suggestions, caveats and best practices incorporated into the ProCarta applications provide a flexible recipe for effectively and efficiently navigating areas of high business risk. Even a master chef will follow a recipe the first time he or she tries something new. The flexible nature of the software allows the ideas, suggestions, newly-discovered best practices and warnings to be written, wiki-style, into the recipe, providing additional guidance for other users. The company's approach to IT is also quite radical: Rather than sending IT consultants out to integrate its risk management solutions into the company's existing IT infrastructure, ProCarta develops its applications outside the IT infrastructure, as simple, portable, stand-alone solutions. The business processes involved in addressing the high-risk problem is analyzed by the user into Processes, Activities, and Tasks, with each Task assigned to a specific identified Role. The regulatory requirements, best practices, and expert guidance and caveats are then keyed in to each Task. And then with the push of a button, the easy-to-use, non-technical ProCarta software produces a set of web pages with the corporation's look-and-feel. The resultant website takes users through each step in the risky process, isolates the Tasks in each Role, and even turns out job descriptions. One area where ProCarta's solution has received considerable traction has been Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance. 'SOX" compliance procedures were developed to prevent a recurrence of the Enron/Arthur Andersen disaster. They address the corporate security environment, division of responsibilities, new oversight and review responsibilities, and the auditor attestation process. To those who shrug off the value of prescribed procedures and best practices as an unwelcome imposition on the freedom and personal judgement of professional managers, Graham points out that, where at one time 'corporate cowboys' were highly respected as individualists, in high-risk areas they can get the entire business into serious trouble, leading to jail time or bankruptcy. As Drucker has often pointed out, in today's business world we are all subject matter experts, and almost everyone's job is unique. We are always to some extent the best at what we, uniquely, do. And for that reason best practices that attempt to capture what someone else does well, have not proven terribly fertile ground for knowledge transfer. "That might be a best practice for his job, but that's not what I do -- my job is different". But in some high-risk areas, everyone doing something different is not a recipe for flexibility and entrepreneurship, but a recipe for disaster.

iPod Corporate security risk oh really

iPod Corporate security risk oh really 07/06/2004 05:20 AM

Lets be honest the people who run your IT department probably have had iPod's, USB Sticks for a long time. Now the big suprise I bet they have had them plugged into the corporate network sharing music and files for the past couple of years with their fellow IT coworkers. So I am sure they realized long ago that it would be easy for someone to upload something nasty from home onto the network via one of these devices. I also bet those IT departments have put in place policies for such devices.

If your company hasn't then you need to fire you lead IT manager. One thing the majority of IT professionals don't need, is some analyst figuring this out about 5 years to late. [ZDNet]
